Verdello

A varietal that can be found both in the wines of Orvieto Classico in central Italy as well as further south in Sicily. When yields are low Verdello can create wines that have a pleasant mix of tropical and stone fruits along with medium levels of acidty. If productivity is too high the wines become oily and flabby with too high an alcohol content for this bland a wine. As the name suggests there are many similarities to the Verdejo of northwestern Spain and the Verdelho of Portugal but as of yet no true connection has been made between these varietals. Also known by the synonym of Breval.
